I must say that I don't regret, from the first episode I've got hooked to the plot. And great acting.
If you like thriller and with some romance to it, you're gonna love this one.

Also, her double role doesn't last long. Two identical women, one is rich, one is poor, but since episode 2 the rich is out of the picture. The poor is offered to pose as her. That includes to be engaged to the psycho who is about the last guy I would ship her with. Maybe even the shady older guy who made her the offer...? No, also a psycho. Some events are like from parody/comedy. Certainly not "psychological thriller"... lol. Seriously, what did I start watching? It has a high MDL rating but that is NOT a good sign, either (sorry). Definitely, this is weird. What a colossal missuse of Soo Ae. Surely I am not going to drop a drama with HER in the lead? But by episode 3, I was close to it.
Episode 4, I still weighed the pros and cons. I love watching Park Soo Ae. I liked her heroine, who was forced to watch her family mourning her at her own funeral. Who was told that as long as she played her new role well, they will be all well cared for. Had she not have beloved family that struggled, the drama would be pointless. The guy portrayed by Yeon Jung Hoon was alright too, he had the right amount of coldness and manipulativeness. Who was not alright, was the "main" guy. I couldn't stand him and he was not even attractive. Will I watch a couple where I love the girl but hate the guy? It's TWENTY episodes...
Since episode 4, main heroine starts living with the main guy in the same room (she has to sleep on the sofa), but luckilly, she is so preocupied with her own drama that she more or less ignores him. He makes a big scene about every detail (as he has some obsessive-compulsive disorder among everything else) and I liked how calm she was in her reactions. Yeah, she had other things to worry. There are more people in the rich house, who each have their problem with the new daughter-in-law, but I honestly did not care for those. I found all the support cast annoying. Basically, I liked only one person and disliked everything that surrounded her.
At one point, she leaves from very important meeting (important for every other character but hers) and drives off in a car. Some of the characters are pursuing her. I did not want them to catch her. I felt this was symbolical, and I realized. I just wanted Soo Ae to drive, drive very far, from this all and leave this whole show. Yes, I wish to watch Soo Ae, but in some different series.

This drama is full of all the cliche story line, an over ambitious and revengeful person, broken family, chaebol heir, doppelgänger and corruption. There is nothing new, or even fresh in the story. The synopsis is intriguing, that’s why I’m giving it a try, but it’s really not well executed or well written.
All the acting is over dramatic, nothing natural. You would know who the bad guy is by the first episode, which makes the whole story line boring I think. All the bad guy is bad, and the good guy’s good. No depth or layer to the character. That, on top of the over the top acting make this one drama a really blah moment for me.
The music is okay, not that I remember anything, since even watching 4 episodes was spend on fast forwarding.
Not going to rewatch it or even remember this drama.

Este K-Drama tem uma história que prende a atenção, não deixou pontas soltas no final e foi capaz de explicar toda trama que se desenvolveu durante os episódios. Assisti super rápido pois não foi maçante tem um suspense na medida certa e o romance foi bem legal. As interpretações também me agradaram e tenho que dizer que o Joo Ji Hoon melhorou muito não só na atuação mas também na aparência desde os tempos do clássico de 2006 (Goong - Princess Hours) que o fez bastante conhecido. Com toda certeza entrou na minha lista de favoritos!

Peccato.
Lo rivedrei per la magica interpretazione degli antagonisti e del personaggio femminile principale, il personaggio maschile principale mi è piaciuto meno, non male ma neanche eccezionale, vediamo come sarà su “Kingdom” in uscita a gennaio 2019

Le musiche non mi sono parse molto ricercate,onestamente non mi hanno colpito molto

Très bon Rom-revenge drama avec un super cast
Les acteurs sont expérimentés et donnent vie aux personnages auxquels on s'attache très vite. les malfrats sont un peu surjoués, mais c'est certainement volontaire pour alléger un peu l'ambiance, avec un côté humoristique ;)Ce que je n'ai pas aimé :
- la story comporte trop trop de twists et de coïncidences évidentes pour être crédible (menacée de mort et recherchée, elle se promène seule dans la rue ??? par exemple)
- les evil characters sont particulièrement vicieux (et je ne commenterai pas l'amour aveugle et extrémiste de la sœur, irréaliste).
La réalisation est assez dynamique, maintient bien le suspens, ce qui rend le drama assez addictif.
Rien de particulier sur les Ost qui accompagnent bien les émotions;
A voir sans aucun doute !!

A premissa da história é meio batida mas eles conseguiram desenvolver a história num nível muito além, a história foi muito bem construída e não deixou nenhum furo.
Eu adoro essas histórias que tem intriga política e familiar, suspense, ação e várias reviravoltas.
O elenco é incrível! Mesmo os personagens secundários e terciários são muito bem interpretados.
E eu amei os protas. É o primeiro trabalho da Soo Ae que eu vejo e já amo essa mulher, a atuação dela é impecável, é tanto que ela fez dois personagens completamente diferentes, só de olhar já dá pra identificar quem é a personagem, não precisa nem ela abrir a boca, hahaha. E o Joo Ji Hoon provando mais uma vez que é um ótimo ator e que é bem versátil, esse já é o quarto projeto que eu vejo dele e parecem quatro atores diferentes.
E o casal é perfeito, eu surtava muito nas cenas deles. Eles têm muita química e o amor deles nasce e se desenvolve de uma forma muito natural. E eles são muito parceiros, eles têm muitos momentos descontraídos, não só românticos, e um faz tudo pelo outro. É um casal real.
E assim, o dorama é daqueles que você começa e quer parar tudo pra maratonar, quando você não tá assistindo fica pensando nele, enfim, ele é excelente e eu super recomendo!
